She is the gentle crossing of worlds at water’s edge. Sculptural sleeves unfurl like wings of calm, the front overlapping in a soft embrace held by delicate silk ties— an elegant silhouette that skims and sways, releasing her into effortless, liquid grace with every turn; below, long trousers rise in a smooth, generous volume – a straight, melodic line, carrying the same quiet tide.

Silhouette and FIT DETAILS
Midi and supremely versatile at approximately 127.5 cm front length, with half-bust 55 cm, half-waist 53 cm, and 56.5 cm sleeves, the Preslava kimono—crafted from 3 meters of Taroni silk—provides an easy, flowing drape ideal for layering or standalone wear. Its loose, comfortable fit and airy, winged sleeves ensure glamorous movement that aligns perfectly with our ballroom-inspired silhouettes—light, free, and eternally chic.
Part of a refined 5-meter Taroni silk set— The Preslava trousers feature a side seam of 102.5 cm, a comfortable inseam of 70.5 cm, a generous half-waist of 55.5 cm, and half-hips of 57 cm. Cut with relaxed yet refined proportions, they flow gracefully with your movement. These trousers capture the brand’s signature freedom—easy, elegant, and beautifully versatile whether paired with the Preslava kimono or worn as a standalone resort essential.
The Philosophy of Fit: Architecture in Motion
Every piece in the Founder’s Edition Allure collection is intentionally designed as one size (O/S)—a liberated, voluminous silhouette born from the high-octane grace of ballroom dancing and the free spirit of the Black Sea. Crafted from generous meters of heritage Taroni silk, these are not garments that conform; they perform. The generous proportions create dramatic sweep and liquid flow, allowing the fabric to move with you in poetic freedom. On petite frames, the oversized drape delivers bohemian glamour and effortless romance (especially barefoot). On taller figures, it skims elegantly or pools with refined drama.
The waist measurements are deliberately expansive so the silk can breathe—cinch with one of our signature belts for definition or let it flow unbound for pure, understated glamour. This is “forever” luxury: comfortable, confident, and gloriously free. Each piece is a collector’s fragment of our beginning, meant to be lived in and loved.

HERITAGE SILK
This kaftan is crafted in the rare, architectural Crepe Satin (120/125), a heavier Taroni masterpiece with deep liquid luster and commanding presence—perfect for bold, statuesque movement that commands space.
Since 1880, the legendary Taroni mill in Lake Como has been the silent partner to the world’s most iconic couture houses. Every Allure kaftan is cut from five to six meters of their pure, heritage silk - the very same exquisite weaves once reserved for the grandest evening gowns.
In the spirit of Haute Escapism, we liberate these couture-level silks into loose, ballroom-inspired kaftan silhouettes - fluid, free, and created for sunlit living. Here, the silk itself is the protagonist: no prints to distract, no embellishments to overshadow, only the pure drama of material and movement. This is luxury resortwear reimagined at its highest form - where the timeless artistry of the world’s finest silks meets the effortless grace of escape.
To honor its legacy, we recommend professional dry cleaning only. Store away from direct sunlight, protected by the breathable custom 100% cotton garment bag that travels with each piece. In return, the silk will remain luminous for decades - your forever companion from sunlit terrace to candlelit gala.
Craftsmanship
Each silhouette is born in a specialized artisan department within our industrial atelier in Bulgaria’s historic textile region along the Danube, where heritage artisans have passed down through generations the technically demanding art of mastering sweeping volumes of couture silks. Hand-finished seams, weighted hems, and the meticulous placement of every ribbon and ruffle ensure the garment moves precisely as you do - gracefully, commandingly, and utterly free.
This is “Architecture in Motion”: the high-octane fluidity of the ballroom dance translated into wearable sculpture. Only 90 pieces exist globally in the Allure: Founder’s Edition. Many are true 1-of-1 or 1-of-2 creations, each bearing the “Exclusive Launch No.1: The Allure” keepsake hang tag. What you hold is not mass-produced luxury; it is one woman’s perfectionist vision, realized by master hands on the same continent where her story began.
LUMINOUS MOMENTS
Desislava Gilberte was born for moments that belong entirely to you. These pieces were imagined for the villa terrace where dawn spills gold across still water; for the private deck where the sea breathes softly against the hull at golden hour; for the secluded overlook where the only sound is the distant murmur of waves and the quiet rhythm of your own presence.
Here, beauty requires no audience—only the light, the breeze, and the woman who wears it. The generous cut and liquid drape allow the silk to dance with the faintest breath of wind, while the weightless construction becomes an extension of your own serene command: graceful, unhurried, alive in subtle motion.
Whether you stand barefoot on sun-warmed stone as morning air traces your skin, or ease into the hush of candlelight as evening settles over open water, the kaftan merges with the moment itself—elegant, unforced, radiant in its quiet authority.
This is resort living reimagined: not a loud escape, but a luminous return to the self - where glamour is felt rather than declared, and every glance is earned through presence alone.
REFLECTIONS
We invite you to become a part of our living heritage.
